	<h1>What is OpenCFU</h1> 
	<p>
		<a href = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_counting#Plating">Counting colonies</a> on agar plates is a widely
		 used method in microbiology.
		OpenCFU is a free software that should facilitate (and render more reproducible) the enumeration of colony forming unit (CFU).
		You can simply run the program on your computer and input pictures of plated bacterial colonies (or other cells).
